**********OU-Gonzaga Pregame Notes/Game Thread**********

[WTSooner]

One thing I don't like about LK (and this isn't just this year, or during his OU tenure) is his reluctance to run set plays on offense. When you don't have a team full of studs, sometimes you need to run something other than "motion" to get your offense going.

I would love to see our returning starters...minus Grooms for Cousin...play together.

Charge

Boooooooo!!!!!

Boooooooo!!!!!

Boooooooo!!!!!

We need to keep driving the ball inside. We aren't hitting any of these jumpers

 

[OUHoops]

Gonzaga up 20 something points. I've lost track of that and how much time left. So there's that.

Someone pointed out earlier that it seems like we've got less guys crashing the offensive glass this game.

Lots of one dribble jump shots that are not inside/out set-ups and are available all day. I'd like to see more drive and kick jumpers.

Starting to feel like it is going to be a long year.

In the end....even if you play hard, but you don't play smart....you're not going to be successful. I see a team that takes too many shots way too early in the shot clock and, with the exception of Osby and sometimes MB, no one is courageous enough to take the ball to the hole. It's like we have 6 Cam Clarks on this team. As the kids get more experience, a couple of them need to develop a bulldog mentality...especially when the outside shots aren't falling.

 

[bgrch1350]

It sucks that we have 2 centers on our bench that aren't good enough to play b/c we could use some size to guard their 7 footers.

 

[Tundrasooner]

No shooters. Hard to beat good teams when you can't put the ball in the whole.
I would,to see the freshmen guards attack the rim.

 

[Soonersized]

I agree that there should be more set plays and not just motion. Live by the jumper and die by the jumper. Suprises me with Lon, as many experts brag about him being the master of X's and O's.:krugs

Yep. We're bad. Again.

4th year in a row. Awesome.

 

[OUHoops]

Damn it. Just damn it.

 

[cfin5256]

Well, this is depressing.

 

[Navy2004]

Looks like a long road ahead. I would like to see some bigger men in the middle for us. We just don't have the one guy to clog up the middle.

 

[steverocks35]

We just look terrible. Sloppy, careless, and disorganized are not going to win us many games.

 

[BigTime]

Hield goes baseline every time. Needs to mix it up.

Why is Pledger not playing?

 

[BigTime]

Which Lord of the Rings movie did Olynikklnjk play in?

 

[cfin5256]

Was that a save to the junk? That was awesome!
